D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

[Parmandur]

Both Astarion's Book of Hungers and Fall of Netheril are clearly tangentially related to things that were touched on in BG3, and WotC seem keen to milk the game's popularity for all it's worth, so with that in mind, a few possibilities:

Gale's Guide to Working the Weave: New spells, and player-facing mechanics for making your own spells and magic items.
Karlach's Blood War Field Manual: An overview of the Blood War, the factions and main battlegrounds involved, etc. A few ways to work it into a campagin. Possibly new fiend statblocks.
Lae'zel's Atlas of Realmspace: An atlas/gazetteer giving an overview of the celestial bodies beyond Toril.
Shadowheart's Apocrypha: An overview of the various deities of the realms, their Chosen and schemes (i.e. plothooks). Statblocks for some of the more prominent Chosen.
Wyll's Primer on Pacts: A guide for GMs on creating pacts for the various Warlock patrons and how to work them into a campaign, as well as minor deals and bargains to tempt non-warlocks.
Minthara's Underdark Digest: An overview of the Underdark, its domains and ecology.

I mean, Spelljammer Realmspace would also fit that bill handily, as you say.

I can rule the first one out, we know how many spells are in the ultimate bundle, 19 and they are all in HoF.

The second one is pure Planescape not FR, although the blood war does effect FR in certain places. Also how would you fit 7 species into that?

The 3rd one is possible, but that would be space intensive, and really more likely to be explored in a Spelljammer product despite over lap. So far still the second most plausible of your guesses.

There is only 8 subclasses in the Ultimate Bundle and doesn't explain how 7 species we know is in the 3rd DLC fits in.

Okay Minthara Underdark book is the most plausible, especially if they ran out of space to do Faerun's Underdark and it's possible that you could find interesting new Species there. Playable Driders!

• Githyanki
• Githzerai
• Hadozee
• Autognomes
• Thri-kreen
• Plasmid
• Wildcard in Wildspace?

There are not Spelljamemr and Forgotten Realms product lines, there is only D&D, and Spelljammer is firmly im the DMG now alongside the FR. It really does fit the known information to a Tee.

Almost everything added to D&D gets ported into FR, and that was before WotC went all in on their multiverse nonsense (Eberron is remaining its own cosmology in my games, thank you very much).

I have clearly missed where there was another 7 species confirmed. I double-checked and don't see it on the blogpost.

Presumably, Gith would be one species, so maybe:

1. Astral elf
2. Autognome
3. Giff
4. Gith
5. Hadozee
6. Plasmoid
7. Thri-kreen

The Beyond Bubdle lists every digital game element thst is in all the combined books: the Bundle will have 8 Species, bit there are no Species in either hardcover and a single (Dhampir) in the Astarion.

Therefore, one of the only things we know ow about the final supplement in the bundle is thst it has 7 Species options on Beyond.

I jumped down to the description previously and totally missed those icons listing the options.

There are some fun things to glean from those icons early on when they announced a product.
